JOHN r. PARKS, Z. n.
4 Gentleman Who Stands High il the
Estimation Of all Who Know Him.


A party here who is contemplating
the erection Of . mill aud hosting
works having consulted John r. Parks,
4. NJ, in regard to the matter. tina,
gentleman readily gave his opinion OF
the property and agreed to supply
estimates Of cost, etc. As is custom.
airy in such transactions, Mr.. Parks
also supplied list of over 20 promi.
nent persons or firms, as references.
The purity sent the references to
his principals, together with a letter
stating the details of the proposed
transaction. A few days later reply
camo which stated: "Parks's refer.
ences satisfactory. Draw on US, ut
sight, for whatever needed, when ser
vices are performed, as per agree,
ment." THIS was followed hy an.
other letter, which said: "Mr. Parks's
references are perfectly satisfactory
and hrst.class 10 every particular
both as to his personal character and
as a mining engineer. We have in
vestigated him thoroughly. He has
been employed by some OF the hrav,.
est mine-owners in this country, and
his services have been eminen,ly sat
isfactory in every respect. He stands
high both as to his ability and in
tegrity."
The gentleman who is thus highly
spoken Of came to help his friend
Churchill out at the Camas No. 2;
but As already stated in these columns,
he did not get here until the lease had
almost run out, aud he only got his
concentrating system to work two
days before the works shut down be-
cause of the expiration of the lease
He. however, stated in the most pos.
tive manner, to a TIMES reporter,
that he had already demonstrated
that the property would pay when
properly handled with suitable ma
chinery. This convinced the TINES
man, and, now that the gen,leman's
are known, it should
convince every fair minded man.

A New Type-Setting Machine

A novei type-setting machine, the only one
Of its kind in the world, we believe, is in use
on The Nee York Tribune. The types are
steel dies, and the matter is set up line at a
time, then quickly Justified" or spaced out
between the words so as TO exactly I'LL the
line, and then an impression or stereotype Of
that one line is taken in type metal, and the
work proceeds. The result is a series Of
stereotypes OF just the length and width Of
one line each, which are put together like a
pack OF cards in their appropriate column.
1t is necessary that the ''copy should be very
correct, but a little machine is provided BY
which the lines can be cut up into words
when necessary and a new word or more cor
rectly written word substituted.
This IL a quite different method from
that Of the ordinary type setting machine,
which sets the type In much the same way as
by hand. The latter has been very extensive
ly used both here aud abroad, aud has had 0
certain success, but not enough 10 bring u
into general use.
The details Of the new machine are kept
very close, and no one Is allowed 10 see II. A
large part Of the editorial page Of III.
Tribune, and much OF the other matter, is
set up on this machine daily. The work done
on II can be distinguished from ordinary
hand-composltion, on the the editorial page Al
least, by the fact that the lines are a little
more widely spaced than the hand work.

JAY GOULD HEARD FROM.

Mr.. Jay Gould Is reported as saying
that he Is in favor OF the Interstate
Commerce bill provided It is revised
and made clear, which the original bill
is not. lie says; The long and short
haul clause is especially ambiguous
and see that Senator Cullom has taken
occasion to explain and cndeavor to
make It clear. Together with much
more Of the same sort All of which
is very smart In the little wizard yet
rome know better than ho the simple,
direct and unambiguous tenor Of the
long and short haul clause Here 1t is:
sec. T. That u shall Dee unlawful for any
common carrier subject To the provisions OF
this act to charge on receive any greater com
Tonsation IN the aggregate FOR the passengers
or of like kind Of property, under substan-
TALLY similar circumstances and conditions.
for shorter than for longer distancc over
the same line, In the same direction, the
shorter being included within tho longer
distance.
None know better than Mr.. Gould
the value Of making people misunder-
stard it by mistatements of its terms.
The answer to all the objections urged
against 1t is in the clause itself, which
does not coHidm tie oiceiioBS! 1t is
plain to the simplest understanding.
Read it, and then remember that the
outrages II forbids are now systemati-
cally perpeirated by the railway com
panies. 1t is not worth more to haul Il
car load of merchandise five hundred
miles than to haul II a thousand miles
but The short haM aoio costs more Hda
the long haul, 1t Is robbery, and Con.
gress ought to put stop to It.
Mr., Gould thinks "the wisest course
10 pursue would be to appoint COM
mission and let that body pass upon all
questions arising" So said THE CRITIC
of Tuesday, the railway men want no
law-only q commission to report to
some other Congress some other bill.
But this is not that kind of Congress,
and these are not the times. The peo.
pie will consume with the fire of their
righteous wrath the representatives
who shall now appear behind Jay
Gould's breastworks with guns on their
shoulders.

The death OF John A. Logan recalls a lit

respects to Mr.. and Mrs. Logan was a scan

claimed as tears trickled from his eyes
"Gen'ral, II does me heap o. good to see

THE failure of the Indiana Demo-
cratic caucus yesterday to nominate
Mr.. Mcdonald for the United States
Senate looks at this distance like a
blunder. The friends of the distin-
guished ex Senator will certainly regret
that he should have been set aside,
especially in an emergency like the
present, when the best man in the
State was needed TO fill the bill. Mr..
David Turpie, whose combination
proved successful, has served one term
in the Senate, having been elected In
1868 to succeed Jesse ID. Bright but it
is doubtful If he possesses the elements
of strength necessary to bring about
harmony and success.
